The Girondins will not cut it, by economic obligation and to reduce a plethoric group of 40 pro players (32 by removing those playing in reserve). The temptation is obvious: to rebuild with the young people and a few survivors (Baysse, Gregersen, Ignatenko, Medioub or even Kwateng and Briand?). This will obviously be insufficient to claim immediate recovery and the technical director Admar Lopes, if he is reappointed, should not be mistaken about recruitment.
The TFC has bet on foreign countries
To go up in two years, Toulouse, 3rd the season after the descent, bet on players who had known the antechambers abroad or less known championships (Norway, Bulgaria, Slovakia …) who supervised the “pitchouns” . Dijon focused to complete especially on recognized and experienced elements of L2 and Caen on players who failed in L1 the previous season but who had experienced climbs, with difficulties at the key (11th for DFCO, 17th for Stade Malherbe) . The three had chosen during the offseason technicians who had tasted the L2 (Patrice Garande and Rui Almeida).
